The Logie nominees have been announced and there's one thing missing

March 27, 2017

Guess how many women are in the running for a Gold Logie? (Hint: It's not many.)

Yep, Logie season is upon us.

While the award show, which will take place on 23 April this year, is undeniably a great opportunity to recognise the work of Australia's homegrown on-screen talent, the announcement of its nominees has once again got people talking - for the wrong reasons.

Where are Australia's golden women?

This year, the root of the controversy is to do with the coveted Gold Logie ... of course. It's meant to indicate the nation's most-loved TV personality of the year, but if that's true - it seems Australia is more misogynistic than one would hope.

There is only ONE female nominee in the category - Jessica Marais (who is SO deserving of her nomination for her great work in both Love Child and The Wrong Girl.)

BEST PRESENTER Amanda Keller, The Living Room Carrie Bickmore, The Project Grant Denyer, All Star Family Feud, Family Feud, The Great Australian Spelling Bee Sarah Harris, Shark Tank, Studio 10 Waleed Aly, The Project
